Said he was in need of an event planner and had a $20,000 budget. He wanted to send us $5,550 up front and asked for bank details so we stopped responding as all of his emails were very sketchy and seemed off. Beware.

Requesting money transactions with his card to our company but says bank merchant won't allow pay pal or square.
